This country is in big trouble because most Americans are so dam ignorant about anything and everything.

Infatuation almost can equate to lust. It is NOT love nor being in-love, however both usually start off as an infatuation. Infatuation is only an attraction for another person based only on what you initially see and not what you know about them. You do NOT know that person yet. It is only an attraction to someone based on what you WANT them to be verses who they really are. Infatuation turns to true love or being "in love" when you have accepted that person for who they are: their background, their weaknesses, their strengths, their character, their spirit, their values, their spirituality, where they are going in life, etc.
To prove the difference between infatuation and love is this: infatuation is what leads to the wedding but it is love that begins when the honeymoon is over and you discover the TRUE person you have married after your disagreements.

Infatuation has N OTHING to do with love because you know hardly anything about that person. It's only a form of immiature "puppy love" that occurs in high school. Infatuation does not last, while love does.

The best city in America and my “second home town!!” America’s 3rd largest urban area with almost 10 million people in 3 states (Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin) along the southwest shore of Lake Michigan. It is a very large metro area that may not be as big as New York or Los Angeles, but is America’s largest inland city and more metropolitan in profile than the latter (at least Chicago has cleaner air and adequate public transportation unlike L.A.). Its most common nickname, “the windy city” actually has nothing to do with meteorology. Although windy (especially during its frigid winters when winds come off Lake Michigan), it stems from its boasting politicians in the 1800s during the world’s fair about the city’s greatness, which it no doubt has. It is the cultural, commercial and transportation center of the Midwest and is a very diverse city with a lot to offer: beaches, a huge lakefront, arts, museums, culture, shopping along Michigan Avenue, awesome architecture (the Sears Tower is among the tallest buildings in the world and the city is building the Chicago Spire, which will surpass Sears as the tallest building in the U.S.), Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, the Gold Coast Dog and one of the world’s busiest airports. The Chicago Metropolitan area contains over half of Illinois’ state population. Not surprisingly, Chicago has so many things to see and do: Navy Pier, shopping along Michigan Avenue, going to a ball game, visiting the Museum of Science and Industry, the Adler Planetarium, the Lincoln Park Zoo or the Brookfield Zoo, go swimming in polluted Lake Michigan (unless it’s the middle of a frigid winter) or going to Lake Geneva for the weekend. The worst thing about Chicago may be its gang problem (who doesn’t have gangs?) and extreme climate: hot and humid summers and frigid winters. Just try exposing yourself to the winds of Lake Michigan in January. If climate is the worst thing about Chicago then I’d say things are pretty good. New York can go screw itself. New Yorkers are fake and Chicagoans are real. Chicago over New York any day.

Forget New Nork. Chicago is better! It has everything New York does (including a a large Stock Exchange) except with friendlier people and a more affordable cost of living. Chicago has anything and everything: a better location in the center of the country, culture, quisine (like Chicago Deep Dish Pizza and the Gold Coast Dog), education, mass transit, enormous lakefront, an IVY league university, architecture (Chicago has America's tallest building while New York does not), China Town, shopping- especially on Michigan Avenue, sports teams (dont forget 'da Bears!), the world's 2nd busiest airport, the Chicago Symphony, The Museum of Science and Industry, the Adler Planetarium, the Art Institute and dont forget numerous jobs of all types. Chicago may only be one-third the size of New York but it can kiss Chicago's ass.

In his last year of his tenure, President Bush has become a lame duck thanks to obstructionist Democrats in the Congress.

A CBS sitcom that aired from 1997-2002 that starred Ted Danson as John Becker, an irascable, inner-city Bronx family-practitioner who is always irritated by something. His character is often bitter over the breakup of two marriages and steers away from long-term relationships as a result. His character is an atheist, cheap, stingy, a nicotene addict, drives a beat up clunker and lives in a mediocre apartment under a hooker. Becker found love in the last season with Chris (short for Christine), played by Nancy Travis. The two never got married. The show was cancelled in 2002 and in the last episode, Becker realized his own happiness.
Characters of the show:
Bob: a grungy, sleezy, lazy, pervert who resembles Fonzie from Happy Days and became Becker's aprtment supervisor in the last season. He has a crush on Reggie, the owner of the diner and his former classmate in high school.
Reggie: owned the diner next to Becker's office. Was the love interest of Bob. She is easily annoyed, desperate, sarcastic, lonely and bitter.
Margaret: the head of Becker's front office. She is a loving, harmonious, Christian woman who often advices Becker.
Linda: also works in Becker's front office. She is a bimbo, irrational, lazy and dates only convicts.
Jake: is blind and runs the newspaper stand in Reggie's diner. He is smart, analytical and sarcastic. Often close to Becker.
Chris: Becker's girlfriend in the last season who replaced Reggie as the diner's new owner. She is affectionate, compassionate and the only one who remotely understands Becker.

Becker was the only recent sitcom I actually enjoyed. Too bad it was cancelled without an official series finale.

The world's biggest cornfield stretching from Ohio into southern Michigan, most of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, southern Minnesota and Nebraska. Some people consider it among the worst areas of the country with nothing but hicks, hillbillies, state fairs, plows and tractors. Yes, it has plenty of those but the Corn Belt is actually within the most industrialized region of the U.S. It contains large manufacturing centers such as Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Columbus, Cincinnati, St. Louis, and smaller Omaha, Madison, Ft. Wayne, Des Moines, Lansing, Dayton and Lincoln.
